Facial recognition technology for improving motor carrier regulatory compliance

ABSTRACT

Methods for improving compliance with regulations pertaining to vehicle driving records are disclosed. One or more digital images from a camera mounted in a vehicle are received. Based on a determination that the vehicle has hours of service that have not been assigned to a driver, a subset of the one or more digital images corresponding to the hours of service are identified based on the timestamps. The subset of the one or more digital images are processed to identify a correspondence between a face of a person included in the one or more digital images and a face of a known person. Based on the correspondence transgressing a threshold level of correspondence, a user interface is generated for presentation on a device. The user interface includes an interactive user interface element for accepting a recommendation to assign the known person as the driver for the unassigned hours of service.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No.62/909,327, filed Oct. 2, 2019, which is incorporated by referenceherein in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the field offacial recognition technology and, more particularly, but not by way oflimitation, to an architecture for systems and methods for using facialrecognition technology to reduce unassigned hours of service (e.g., toallow a motor carrier to maintain compliance with governmentregulations).

BACKGROUND

Government regulations around the world, such as those established bythe U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), mayrequire a motor carrier to follow hours of service (HOS) rules (e.g.,which may be designed to eliminate the type of drowsiness that can leadto crashes). Such rules may include requiring a motor carrier to eitherassign a vehicle's operating time to a driver or explain why a vehicle'soperating time is unassigned to a driver. Current systems that maydeployed by the motor carrier, such as electronic logging devices (ELDs)or token-detection systems, are often unable to capture all of therequired driver assignment data, especially for large fleets ofvehicles. Thus, the motor carrier may be faced with a significant burden(e.g., with respect to updating electronic records of duty status(RODS)) to establish or maintain regulatory compliance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerousspecific details are set forth in order to provide an understanding ofvarious embodiments of the present subject matter. It will be evident,however, to those skilled in the art that various embodiments may bepracticed without these specific details.

While deployment by a motor carrier of ELDs across one or more fleets ofvehicles may make it easier and faster for the motor carrier toaccurately track, manage, and share RODS data, ELDs have variousshortcomings with respect to tracking assignments of drivers tovehicles. For example, a driver may forget to log in or log out of theELD, which results in unassigned hours of service or generation ofinaccurate assignment data for the vehicle.

Additionally, while provision of key fobs by a motor carrier to itsdrivers may make it easier to associate each of its drivers with one ormore vehicles, key fobs are unreliable in some situations. For example,when many vehicles are parked in close proximity to one another, it maybe difficult to determine which key fob goes with which vehicle.

As a result, because of these various technical problems associated withgenerating complete or accurate vehicle assignment data using suchsystems, a motor carrier's electronically-stored RODS data may beincomplete and thus insufficient for the motor carrier to establish ormaintain regulatory compliance.

A dashcam, or event data recorder (EDR), is an onboard camera thatrecords a view (e.g., continuously) through a vehicle's front windscreenand sometimes the interior of the vehicle. Some EDRs also recordacceleration, deceleration, speed, steering angle, global positioningsystem (GPS) data, and throttle position information.

In example embodiments, a method for improving compliance withregulations pertaining to vehicle driving records is disclosed. One ormore digital images from a camera mounted in a vehicle are received. Theone or more digital images are captured by the camera when the vehiclestarts moving. The one or more digital images have correspondingtimestamps. Based on a determination that the vehicle has hours ofservice that have not been assigned to a driver, a subset of the one ormore digital images corresponding to the hours of service are identifiedbased on the timestamps. The subset of the one or more digital imagesare processed to identify a correspondence between a face of a personincluded in the one or more digital images and a face of a known person.Based on the correspondence transgressing a threshold level ofcorrespondence, a user interface is generated for presentation on adevice of an administrator. The user interface includes an interactiveuser interface element for accepting a recommendation to assign theknown person as the driver for the unassigned hours of service.

In example embodiments, input of the administrator (e.g., accepting orrejecting one or more recommendations to assign a known people asdrivers) is fed back into a machine-learning system to improve thefacial recognition technology with respect to photos containing imagesof drivers employed by the motor carrier. Thus, over time, the matchesbetween the faces of images in the photo to known people are improved,requiring less and less manual intervention by the administrator toimprove the vehicle-to-driver assignment data.

In example embodiments, a method of performing operations for improvingdriver safety across a fleet of vehicles is disclosed. A plurality ofsafety events pertaining to a driving of a fleet of vehicles by aplurality of drivers is detected. A subset of the events is identified.The subset corresponds to one or more safety events of the plurality ofsafety events involving one or more vehicles of the fleet of vehicles towhich drivers have not been assigned. A user interface is generated forpresentation on a client device. The user interface includes one or moreinteractive user interface elements for accessing the subset of theevents. Based on an accessing of the subset of events, one or more userinterface elements are provided for accepting or rejectingrecommendations for assignments of one of the plurality of drivers toeach of the vehicles. The recommendations are generated based on anapplication of a machine-learned model to images of faces capturedinside the one or more vehicles when the safety events occurred.

These methods and various operations disclosed herein may be implementedas a computer system having one or more modules (e.g., hardware modulesor software modules) that are specially designed and incorporated intothe computer system to perform this method or one or more of theoperations described herein. These methods and various operationsdisclosed herein may be embodied as instructions stored on amachine-readable medium that, when executed by one or more processors ofa machine, cause the machine to perform the method or one or more of thevarious operations.

These methods and various operations disclosed herein provide specificimprovements over prior art systems, including, for example, increasingthe speed or efficiency by which a motor carrier may reduce or eliminateunassigned hours of service (e.g., thus improving an accuracy ofelectronically-stored RODS). For example, a motor carrier may be able toprocess a large number of data records having unassigned hours ofservice within a time frame required for submission or sharing of thedata records with a regulatory body.

As discussed herein, an “event” may comprise a combination of conditionsdetected by the sensor devices. An administrator of the event detectionsystem may provide event definitions, wherein each event definitionincludes one or more of: an event type or identifier (e.g., roll-over,crash, speeding, rolling stop, distracted driver); a set of thresholds;and a set of conditions represented by a set of sensor data from one ormore sensor devices from among the plurality of sensor devices of theevent detection system. For example, a “rolling stop” may be defined bya set of conditions that include: the presence of a stop sign in one ormore frames of a video stream; inertial data indicating that a stop didnot occur; and GPS data indicating that a vehicle did not stop at alocation associated with the stop sign. Similarly, a “precursor” to theevent may be defined by a portion of an event definition. For example,in the example of the “rolling stop” described above, a precursor to theevent may be defined as the detection of the stop sign in one or moreframes of the video stream.

In some embodiments, each event type or identifier of an eventdefinition may be associated with corresponding object models. An objectmodel of a particular event or precursor to an event includes the eventdefinitions of the event and precursors to the events and definesprocedures or subroutines to be performed by the event detection systemin response to detecting an event or precursor to an event. For example,the procedures of an object model may define a data-flow of sensor datathrough one or more processing components of the event detection system,processing operations to be performed upon the sensor data at the one ormore processing components of the event detection system, visualizationand display instructions for the sensor data, as well as a bit rate(hereinafter “data rate”) to generate and access the sensor dataresponsive to detecting an event or precursor to an event.

The detection of events and precursors to events may be performed by oneor more processors associated with the plurality of sensor devices, oneor more processors associated with the gateway, or by one or moreprocessors associated with the server system, or any combinationthereof.

According to certain example embodiments, the detection of events basedon the sensor data may include: detecting events based on a comparisonof sensor data to one or more thresholds defined by the eventdefinitions; detecting events by detecting features within the sensor;and detecting events based on an output of a neural network (i.e., atime delayed neural network) trained to recognize features correspondingto certain events and precursors to events.

Accordingly, in some example embodiments, detection of an event by theplurality of sensors may be based upon video data generated by one ormore cameras of the event detection system. For example, a neuralnetwork or machine learned model may be trained to recognize features orsignals corresponding to certain types of objects that correspond withan event definition (e.g., signage, a stop sign, yield, childrencrossing, rail-road, etc.). In some embodiments, the signals detectedmay also include gestures performed by an occupant of a vehicle (e.g., apeace sign). Responsive to recognizing the features that correspond tothe object associated with the event definition, the event detectionsystem may access an object model associated with the correspondingevent definition. An object model defines procedures and subroutines tobe performed by the event detection system.

Similarly, detection of an event by the plurality of sensors may bebased upon a stereoscopic inference model generated by the eventdetection system based on sensor data from one or more of the sensordevices. For example, the plurality of sensors may include a dashcam,and the sensor data may include video data that comprises monocularimage data. The event detection system may generate a depth model basedon the monocular image data through a stereoscopic inference modeltrained to construct a 3-dimensional (3D) depth model based on monocularimage data. The event detection system may compare the depth modelagainst one or more threshold values to detect events.

In further embodiments, the method of detecting an event may vary basedupon the type of sensor data accessed and analyzed. In some embodimentsthe sensor data may include inertial data, audio data, or location data.Detecting of an event may therefore include detecting one or more valuesof the sensor data transgressing threshold values corresponding to eventtypes. For example, an event may be triggered based on an inertial valuetransgressing a threshold value, or in further embodiments, an event maybe triggered based on the location data generated by a sensor devicetransgressing a boundary, or reaching a destination.

The object models associated with events may further define presentationand display instructions for sensor data of the events. The presentationand display instructions may include an identification of one or moreclient devices to present a notification responsive to the detection ofan event, as well as display instructions to visualize and displaysensor data corresponding to events. For example, the notification mayinclude a display of an identifier associated with a sensor device, aswell as one or more event attributes of the detected event.

In example embodiments, severity levels of various detected events, suchas those related to safe operation of fleet of vehicles by a pluralityof drivers of those vehicles, may be specified (e.g., via aconfiguration administrative user interface). Then, for example, safetyevents may be ordered in order of their severity levels for presentationand processing. In example embodiments, a user interface may bepresented on a client device for assigning drivers to safety events(e.g., based on a time of occurrence of the safety event and anidentification of a driver of the vehicle at the time of occurrence, theidentification being based on application of a machine-learned model forfacial recognition, as explained in more detail below).

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example system 100 for detectingevents based on sensor data. The system 100 includes one or more clientdevice(s) 122 that host a number of applications including a clientapplication 114.

Accordingly, each client application 114 is able to communicate andexchange data with another client application 114 and with the serverapplication 114 executed at the server system 108 via the network 106.The data exchanged between client applications 114, and between a clientapplication 114 and the server system 108, includes functions (e.g.,commands to invoke functions) as well as payload data (e.g., text,audio, video or other multimedia data).

The server system 108 provides server-side functionality via the network106 to a particular client application 114, and in some embodiments tothe sensor device(s) 102 and the system gateway 104. While certainfunctions of the system 100 are described herein as being performed byeither a client application 114, the sensor device(s) 102, the systemgateway 104, or by the server system 108, it will be appreciated thatthe location of certain functionality either within the clientapplication 114 or the server system 108 is a design choice. Forexample, it may be technically preferable to initially deploy certaintechnology and functionality within the server system 108, but to latermigrate this technology and functionality to the client application 114,or one or more processors of the sensor device(s) 102, or system gateway104, where there may be sufficient processing capacity.

The server system 108 supports various services and operations that areprovided to the client application 114. Such operations includetransmitting data to, receiving data from, and processing data generatedby the client application 114, the sensor device(s) 102, and the systemgateway 104. In some embodiments, this data includes, message content,device information, geolocation information, persistence conditions,social network information, sensor data, and live event information, asexamples. In other embodiments, other data is used. Data exchangeswithin the system 100 are invoked and controlled through functionsavailable via graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of the client application114.

Turning now specifically to the server system 108, an ApplicationProgram Interface (API) server 110 is coupled to, and provides aprogrammatic interface to, an application server 112. The applicationserver 112 is communicatively coupled to a database server 118, whichfacilitates access to a database 120 that stores data associated withdata generated by the sensor devices 102 and processed by theapplication server 112.

Dealing specifically with the API server 110, this server receives andtransmits data (e.g., sensor data, commands, and payloads) between theclient device 122 and the application server 112. Specifically, the APIserver 110 provides a set of interfaces (e.g., routines and protocols)that can be called or queried by the client application 114 in order toinvoke functionality of the application server 112. The API server 110exposes various functions supported by the application server 112,including account registration, login functionality, the transmission ofdata, via the application server 112, from a particular clientapplication 114 to another client application 114, the sending of sensordata (e.g., images, video, geolocation data, inertial data, temperaturedata, etc.) from a client application 114 to the server application 114,and for possible access by another client application 114, the settingof a collection of data, the retrieval of such collections, theretrieval of data, and the location of devices within a region.

The application server 112 hosts a number of applications andsubsystems, including a server application 114, and a facial recognitionsystem 124. The facial recognition system 124 is configured to accesssensor data generated by the one or more sensor devices 102, such as acamera mounted on a dashboard of a vehicle, to for example, allow amotor carrier associated with the vehicle to accurately determine anidentification of a driver who was operating the vehicle at a particulartime. Further details of the facial recognition system 124 can be foundin FIG. 2 below.

The server application 114 implements a number of data processingtechnologies and functions, particularly related to the aggregation andother processing of data (e.g., sensor data generated by the sensordevices 102). As will be described in further detail, the sensor datagenerated by the sensor devices 102 may be aggregated into collectionsassociated with a particular user account. Other processor and memoryintensive processing of data may also be performed server-side by theserver application 114, in view of the hardware requirements for suchprocessing.

The application server 112 is communicatively coupled to a databaseserver 118, which facilitates access to a database 120 in which isstored data associated with sensor data generated by the sensor devices102 and processed by the server application 114.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating components of the facialrecognition system 124.

The facial recognition system 124 is shown as including an imagereception module 202, an image matching module 204, a driveridentification module 206, and a presentation module 208, all configuredto communicate with each other (e.g., via a bus, shared memory, or aswitch). Any one or more of these modules may be implemented using oneor more processors 210 (e.g., by configuring such one or more processorsto perform functions described for that module) and hence may includeone or more of the processors 210.

Any one or more of the modules described may be implemented usinghardware alone (e.g., one or more of the processors 210 of a machine) ora combination of hardware and software. For example, any moduledescribed of the facial recognition system 124 may physically include anarrangement of one or more of the processors 210 (e.g., a subset of oramong the one or more processors of the machine) configured to performthe operations described herein for that module. As another example, anymodule of the facial recognition system 124 may include software,hardware, or both, that configure an arrangement of one or moreprocessors 210 (e.g., among the one or more processors of the machine)to perform the operations described herein for that module. Accordingly,different modules of the facial recognition system 124 may include andconfigure different arrangements of such processors 210 or a singlearrangement of such processors 210 at different points in time.Moreover, any two or more modules of the facial recognition system 124may be combined into a single module, and the functions described hereinfor a single module may be subdivided among multiple modules.Furthermore, according to various example embodiments, modules describedherein as being implemented within a single machine, database, or devicemay be distributed across multiple machines, databases, or devices.

As discussed above, according to certain example embodiments, the facialrecognition system 124 may maintain one or more images or clubs ofimages, as explained in more detail below. In some embodiments, one ormore portions of the images or clubs of images, as well as associatedmetadata, may be stored within the databases 120, at the server system108, while in further embodiments, the portions may be stored at a localmemory of the sensor devices 102, the gateway 104, as well as the clientdevice 122.

The image reception module 202 may be configured to receive one or moredigital images (e.g., from an inward-facing camera mounted on adashboard of a vehicle), as discussed in more detail below. The imagematching module 204 may be configured to match received images to otherimages and associate or dissociate images with clubs, as discussed inmore detail below. The driver identification module 206 may beconfigured to determine an identification of a driver (e.g., based onapplication of a machine-learned matching algorithm to an image capturedof the driver to a set of images known to correspond to the driver). Thepresentation module 208 may be configured to generate and present one ormore user interfaces for using the improved facial recognitiontechnology described herein to, for example, reduce or eliminatedatabase records pertaining to unassigned hours of service such that amotor carrier may establish or maintain regulatory compliance.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart depicting an example method of a facialrecognition algorithm for identifying a driver of a vehicle. In exampleembodiments, operations of the method 300 may be performed by themodules described above with respect to FIG. 2.

At operation 310 images of one or more faces are detected from aninward-facing camera mounted in a vehicle (e.g., on a dashboard of thevehicle). In example embodiments, the inward-facing camera is includedin sensor device 102. In example embodiments, the images may be capturedperiodically during operation of the vehicle (e.g., every two secondswhile the vehicle is moving) or a set of images may be captured whenparticular events are detected (e.g., in seconds or minutes each timethe vehicle starts moving after having been at rest for a predeterminedamount of time). Thus, for example, a sequence of images may be capturedin a first succession (e.g., every half-second) when the vehicle startsmoving after having its ignition turned on. The image capturing may thenbe turned off until the same or another predetermined event occurs or,alternatively, captured in a second succession (e.g., every minute, fiveminutes, and so on). In example embodiments, the image capture may bederived from a video capture, such as from a video that is captured at30 or 60 frames per second. In example embodiments, the rate of captureand association of the rate of capture with respect to particular eventsis configurable (e.g., by an administrator via a user interface). Thus,for example, an administrator is able to configure the image capturing(e.g.., the frame rate) to not only maximize quality of images andmatches, but also to minimize use of computer resources to process theimages, such as bandwidth, processing power, and computer memory (e.g.,in accordance with specifications of a motor vehicle carrier).

One or more images of faces are detected within the captured image usingfacial recognition technology. Of the images of faces, it is determinedwhich of images corresponds to a driver of the vehicle. For example,information about where the driver is seated in a particular vehicle maybe accessed (e.g., from a database) and the image of the facecorresponding to the driver may be identified based on the position ofthe image of the face within the vehicle. Or, for example, a wheel forcontrolling the vehicle may be detected in close proximity to an imageof a face or in connection with a hands or body connected with the imageof the face, and thus the image of the face may be inferred to be thedriver of the vehicle. In example embodiments, a bounding box of theimage of the face corresponding to the driver is identified and theimage of the face is cropped (e.g., with respect to a bounding boxassociated with the image of the face).

At operation 320, the image of the face of the driver is stored in oneor more databases. Additionally, metadata associated with the image,such as its quality, may be generated and stored in the one or moredatabases and associated with the image of the face of the driver. Thequality may be measured in terms of one or more image-quality factors,including, for example, resolution, frame rate, size, contrast,brightness, color depth, a measured amount of blurriness, fuzziness, orother obfuscation; and so on. The image of the face of the driver iscompared to other images of faces stored in the one or more databases.The comparison includes using face vectors, which may includeinformation about the images themselves as well as the metadataassociated with the images. In example embodiments, one or more imagesof faces that have been previously manually assigned to a driver areselected or prioritized for comparing to the image of the face of thedriver. In example embodiments, for each comparison, a match percentageis calculated based on the face vectors.

At operation 330, if the image of the face of the driver matches apreviously-stored image (e.g., based on the match percentagetransgressing a match percentage threshold), the image of the face ofthe driver is assigned to an identifier associated with driver. Inexample embodiments, the face of the driver remains unassigned if thematch percentage for the driver does not transgress the match percentagethreshold.

In example embodiments, a set (e.g., or “club”) of images may capture aface of a same driver from different viewing angles. In exampleembodiments, the club includes up to a configurable number (e.g., four)images. In example embodiments, each of the images in the club has athreshold degree of similarity to the other images in the club. Forexample, if a series of images of the driver is taken while the driveris operating a vehicle, one or more of the series may be added to theclub (e.g., based on one or more factors, including a difference in aviewing angle of the image or a degree of similarity of the image withrespect to the images that are already included in the club). In exampleembodiments, the image of the face of the driver is added to the clubonly when its similarity to the other images in the club transgresses amean similarity threshold.

For example, in example embodiments, a driver (e.g., “Fred”) is assignedto a club. In example embodiments, the assignment is based on inputreceived from an administrator through an interactive user interface, asdiscussed in more detail below. In example embodiments, depending on theinput received, multiple clubs of images may be merged (e.g., based ontheir similarities transgressing a similarity threshold) and specificimages may be removed from the club. Additionally, when clubs aremodified, they may be resubmitted as training data to a machine-learningalgorithm to improve the performance of future similarity detection.

At operation 340, a user interface is presented to allow manualassignment of the face of the driver to an identifier associated with adriver. In example embodiments, the user interface includes options formanually assigning unassigned drivers to their corresponding identifiersand/or manually correcting incorrectly auto-assigned faces of drivers toidentifiers, as described herein.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart depicting an example method of improving a facialrecognition algorithm for identifying drivers of vehicles throughmachine learning. In example embodiments, operations of the method 300may be performed by the modules described above with respect to FIG. 2.

At operation 402, one or more images are received (e.g., from aninward-facing camera mounted in a vehicle, as discussed herein).

At operation 404, a subset of the images is identified as correspondingto one or more unassigned hours of service. In example embodiments, theunassigned hours of service include any hours of operation of a vehiclefor which the driver of the vehicle is not recorded in an electronicdatabase record used for establishing or maintaining regulatorycompliance. In example embodiments, the identification of the subset ofthe images is based on a timestamp of the images corresponding to thehours of the unassigned hours of service. In example embodiments, otherdata may be used to identify the subset, including location data orother data (e.g., data captured by an ELD mounted in the vehicle).

At operation 406, an identification of a driver corresponding to thesubset of the images is predicted. In example embodiments, theprediction is based on application of a machine-learned facialrecognition algorithm to the subset of the images or a portion of thesubset of the images, such as an image of a face included in one or moreof the subset. In example embodiments, the matching is based on one ormore of the images of the subset of the images having a similarity to aclub of images associated with a known driver that transgresses asimilarity threshold measurement or score.

At operation 408, a user interface is generated and provided for displayon a client device. The user interface includes information pertainingto the prediction of the identification of the driver and user interfaceelements for an administrator to accept or reject the prediction of theidentification of the driver. In example embodiments, when amachine-learned model associated with identifying an image of a driverreaches a configurable confidence level (e.g., 90%) with respect to thedriver, operation 408 may be skipped, and the predicted driver may beautomatically assigned to the vehicle, at least in a configurablepercentage of cases. For example, for predicted images satisfying thethreshold, operation 408 may only be performed as a safety precaution(e.g., 10% of the time) so that, in the event of a possible error in theprediction, an administrator may be able to correct that error despitethe confidence of the prediction.

At operation 410, the machine-learned facial recognition algorithm isupdated based on the acceptance or rejection of the prediction. Forexample, a new training data set is developed based on a modification toa club of images associated with one or more drivers or a modificationof a measurement of a strength of similarities between images includesin the club of images. The new training data set is then used to train amodel that is used as a replacement for the model used to predict theidentification of the driver.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart depicting an example method of implementing batchprocessing of unassigned hours of service across a fleet of vehiclesusing facial recognition. In example embodiments, operations of themethod 300 may be performed by the modules described above with respectto FIG. 2.

At operation 502, unassigned hours of service are identified across oneor more fleets of vehicles (e.g., a fleet of vehicles of a motorcarrier). For example, database records corresponding to RODS arefiltered to identify all database records having unassigned hours ofservice.

At operation 504, an option is presented for an administrator to accessa listing of the unassigned hours of service. For example, a userinterface may be presented to the user in which a tab user interfaceelement is selectable for accessing a subset of all of the databaserecords pertaining to the vehicles in the fleet that have unassignedhours of service.

At operation 506, for at least a subset of the items in the listing, oneor more user interface elements are provided within the user interfaceto allow an administrator to view one or more images of a drivercorresponding to the unassigned hours of service. For example, the oneor more images may be selected from captured images having a timestampcorresponding to a time period of the unassigned hours of service. Inexample embodiments, the one or more images may further be selectedbased on meta data associated with the images, such as image qualitydata. In example embodiments, assignment of a driver to unassigned hoursof service may or may not be used (e.g., based on a configurable rule)to assign a driver to a safety event corresponding to a time period ofthe unassigned hours of service.

Additionally, one or more user interface elements are included withinthe user interface for accepting or rejecting predictions orrecommendations for assignments of one of a plurality of drivers of thefleet of vehicles to each of the vehicles included in the subset. Inexample embodiments, the recommendations are generated based on anapplication of a machine-learned model to images of faces capturedinside the one or more vehicles at a time period during the unassignedhours of service. In example embodiments, the accepting of rejecting ofa recommendation may be fed back into the machine-learning algorithm(e.g., as training data for generating a new model). For example, one ormore images may be added or removed from a club of images associatedwith a driver that is used for training the model.

FIG. 6 is a diagram of an example method 600 of improving driver safetyacross a fleet of vehicles. In example embodiments, operations of themethod 300 may be performed by the modules described above with respectto FIG. 2.

At operation 602, a subset of a plurality of safety events involvingvehicles of a fleet of vehicles is identified, the subset correspondingto vehicles to which drivers were not assigned during the plurality ofsafety events. In example embodiments, the safety events are identifiedbased on event data received from one or more sensors included in thevehicle, as discussed herein. In example embodiments, the event datacorresponding to each safety event is defined based on one or morecharacteristics of the event data (e.g., by an administrator via anadministrative user interface). Additionally, each safety event may beassociated with a configurable level of severity (e.g., a scorereflecting that seriousness of the safety event).

At operation 604, an interactive user interface is generated forpresentation on a client device for accessing the subset. In exampleembodiments, the user interface may include a Safety Inbox, such as theuser interface depicted in FIG. 8. In example embodiments, the subsetmay be presented in order of the level of severity associated with eachsafety event in the subset. In example embodiments, one or more selectedimages of faces captured inside each vehicle when the correspondingsafety event occurred may be presented alongside the listing of eachsafety event. In example embodiments, the images may be selected basedon quality metrics associated with the images and a proximity of a timeof the capturing of the images relative to the time of occurrence ofeach safety event.

At operation 606, one or more user interface elements are includedwithin the user interface for accepting or rejecting recommendations forassignments of one of a plurality of drivers of the fleet of vehicles toeach of the vehicles included in the subset. In example embodiments, therecommendations are generated based on an application of amachine-learned model to images of faces captured inside the one or morevehicles when the safety events occurred. In example embodiments, theaccepting of rejecting of a recommendation may be fed back into themachine-learning algorithm (e.g., as training data for generating a newmodel). For example, one or more images may be added or removed from aclub of images associated with a driver that is used for training themodel.

In example embodiments, upon accepting a recommendation of an assignmentof a driver to a safety event, one or more user interface may beprovided for viewing additional safety events associated with theidentified driver. In example embodiments, safety events for anidentified driver may be shown in a separate sub-inbox that is dedicatedto that specific driver. The sub inbox may include each of the safetyevents associated with the driver (e.g., in order of level of severity).

In example embodiments, user interface elements may be provided fortaking one or more corrective actions with respect to a driver. Forexample, a corrective action may include providing a notification to thedriver to complete an online learning or training module pertaining to aset of safety events that are associated with the driver. In exampleembodiments, progress of the driver toward completing the learning ortraining module may be tracked and presented in the user interface.Additionally, performance metrics associated with each driver may becontinually monitored and updated to, for example, identify the effecton the safety record of each driver of having completed the learning ortraining module. Recommendations of learning and training modulesspecific to types of safety events may be learned (e.g., throughadditional machine-learning applications) and used to update the userinterface with optimal driver-specific recommendations for correctiveactions.

FIG. 7 is a diagram of an example user interface 700 for assigningunassigned hours of service to a driver. In example embodiments, theuser interface may depict a route (e.g., on a map) of operation of thevehicle corresponding to the unassigned hours of service for thevehicle. The user interface may also include a textual description ofthe route, including locations (e.g., physical addresses) and times ortime periods at which the vehicle was present at the locations. Inexample embodiments, the user interface may include an identifier forthe vehicle (e.g., an alphanumeric value assigned to the vehicle, suchas “182231”), a length of time over which the vehicle was operations(e.g., 29 m 26 s), one or more images captured during the time period.Additionally, a suggested or predicted driver identification may bepresented. For example, the predicted driver identification may be basedon an application of the machine-learned facial recognition algorithmdiscussed above. In example embodiments, the user may include userinterface elements for accepting or rejecting the predicted driveridentification. For example, the user interface may include a drop-downmenu for selecting a driver other than the predicted driver.Additionally, the user interface may include one or more user interfacesfor selecting duty status. In example embodiments, the user interfacemay include an option to save or cancel any inputs provided, such as aselection of the driver assignment or duty status. Upon saving a recordin which a driver assignment is made, additional instances of the userinterface may be provided to, for example, sequentially assign the samepredicted driver to other unassigned hours of service or toautomatically move to a next unassigned driver record in a sequence ofunassigned driver records for which one or more images of a driver havebeen captured and for which a predicted of driver identification hasbeen made. In this way, an administrator may be able to more efficientlyprocess unassigned driver records in order of records that are mostlikely to be easily resolved.

FIG. 8 is a diagram of an example user interface 800 for efficientlyresolving unassigned hours of service for multiple vehicles. In thisexample, a series of database records associated with unassigned hoursof service are presented as a list within a user interface. In exampleembodiments, the list is accessed by, for example, clicking on an“Unassigned” tab element associated with database records presented inthe user interface. In example embodiments, the user interface includesa predicted driver identification for each of the vehicles in the list.The predicted driver identification may be based on application of amachine-learned facial recognition algorithm to images captured duringoperation of the vehicle within a time period corresponding to theunassigned hours of service. The user interface also includes adepiction of one or more of the captured images, which may be selectedbased on various criteria, as discussed above. The user interface alsoincludes user interface elements for accepting or rejecting thepredicted driver assignment. Although not depicted, the user interfacemay include a user interface element, such as drop-down box, foridentifying a driver other than the predicted driver, such as thedrop-down box shown with respect to FIG. 7.

FIG. 9 is a diagram of an example user interface 900 for improvingdriver safety. In this example, vehicles associated with a safety event,and for which a driver has not been assigned at the time of occurrenceof the safety event, are presented in a user interface. In exampleembodiments, the user interface is made accessible based on aninteraction with a user interface element (e.g., an “Inbox” link orbutton). A Safety Inbox is presented that includes a listing having oneor more columns for various data elements, such as a vehicleidentification number, an identification of a driver (or an indicationof a lack of driver identification), event details (e.g., a type of thesafety event, such as a harsh brake), and a location of the safetyevent. In example embodiments, a user interface element (e.g., an“Assign” button) is provided for assigning a driver to the safety eventwhen the driver identification is not known. Upon activating the userinterface element, an additional user interface may be presented forassigning the driver (e.g., such as the user interface shown in FIG. 7).Additionally, or alternatively, the listing may include in-line userinterface elements for assigning predicted drivers to safety events,such as the user interface shown in FIG. 8). Although not shown in FIG.9, one or more selected images received from sensors within the vehicleat the time of the safety event may be included in an additional columnin the listing, as described herein. Once a driver has been assigned toa safety event, the interactive element for assigning the driver may bereplaced with an identification of the driver (e.g., “Yuniel Rodriguez”)within the listing. Additionally, as depicted, the user interface mayinclude options for flagging, archiving, or dismissing one or moreselected safety events. In example embodiments, assignment of a driverto a safety event may or may not be used (e.g., based on a configurablerule) to assign a driver to unassigned hours of service corresponding toa time of occurrence of the safety event.

For example, a network ora portion of a network may include a wireless or cellular network andthe coupling may be a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) connection, aGlobal System for Mobile communications (GSM) connection, or other typeof cellular or wireless coupling. In this example, the coupling mayimplement any of a variety of types of data transfer technology, such asSingle Carrier Radio Transmission Technology (1×RTT), Evolution-DataOptimized (EVDO) technology, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)technology, Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology,third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) including 3G, fourthgeneration wireless (4G) networks, Universal Mobile TelecommunicationsSystem (UMTS), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), WorldwideInteroperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE)standard, others defined by various standard setting organizations,other long range protocols, or other data transfer technology.

“MACHINE-READABLE MEDIUM” in this context refers to a component, deviceor other tangible media able to store instructions and data temporarilyor permanently and may include, but is not be limited to, random-accessaccess memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), buffer memory, flashmemory, optical media, magnetic media, cache memory, other types ofstorage (e.g., Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM)) and/orany suitable combination thereof. The term “machine-readable medium”should be taken to include a single medium or multiple media (e.g., acentralized or distributed database, or associated caches and servers)able to store instructions. The term “machine-readable medium” shallalso be taken to include any medium, or combination of multiple media,that is capable of storing instructions (e.g., code) for execution by amachine, such that the instructions, when executed by one or moreprocessors of the machine, cause the machine to perform any one or moreof the methodologies described herein. Accordingly, a “machine-readablemedium” refers to a single storage apparatus or device, as well as“cloud-based” storage systems or storage networks that include multiplestorage apparatus or devices. The term “machine-readable medium”excludes signals per se.

“COMPONENT” in this context refers to a device, physical entity or logichaving boundaries defined by function or subroutine calls, branchpoints, application program interfaces (APIs), or other technologiesthat provide for the partitioning or modularization of particularprocessing or control functions. Components may be combined via theirinterfaces with other components to carry out a machine process. Acomponent may be a packaged functional hardware unit designed for usewith other components and a part of a program that usually performs aparticular function of related functions. Components may constituteeither software components (e.g., code embodied on a machine-readablemedium) or hardware components. A “hardware component” is a tangibleunit capable of performing certain operations and may be configured orarranged in a certain physical manner. In various example embodiments,one or more computer systems (e.g., a standalone computer system, aclient computer system, or a server computer system) or one or morehardware components of a computer system (e.g., a processor or a groupof processors) may be configured by software (e.g., an application orapplication portion) as a hardware component that operates to performcertain operations as described herein. A hardware component may also beimplemented mechanically, electronically, or any suitable combinationthereof. For example, a hardware component may include dedicatedcircuitry or logic that is permanently configured to perform certainoperations. A hardware component may be a special-purpose processor,such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or an ApplicationSpecific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). A hardware component may alsoinclude programmable logic or circuitry that is temporarily configuredby software to perform certain operations. For example, a hardwarecomponent may include software executed by a general-purpose processoror other programmable processor. Once configured by such software,hardware components become specific machines (or specific components ofa machine) uniquely tailored to perform the configured functions and areno longer general-purpose processors. It will be appreciated that thedecision to implement a hardware component mechanically, in dedicatedand permanently configured circuitry, or in temporarily configuredcircuitry (e.g., configured by software) may be driven by cost and timeconsiderations. Accordingly, the phrase “hardware component”(or“hardware-implemented component”) should be understood to encompass atangible entity, be that an entity that is physically constructed,permanently configured (e.g., hardwired), or temporarily configured(e.g., programmed) to operate in a certain manner or to perform certainoperations described herein. Considering embodiments in which hardwarecomponents are temporarily configured (e.g., programmed), each of thehardware components need not be configured or instantiated at any oneinstance in time. For example, where a hardware component comprises ageneral-purpose processor configured by software to become aspecial-purpose processor, the general-purpose processor may beconfigured as respectively different special-purpose processors (e.g.,comprising different hardware components) at different times. Softwareaccordingly configures a particular processor or processors, forexample, to constitute a particular hardware component at one instanceof time and to constitute a different hardware component at a differentinstance of time. Hardware components can provide information to, andreceive information from, other hardware components. Accordingly, thedescribed hardware components may be regarded as being communicativelycoupled. Where multiple hardware components exist contemporaneously,communications may be achieved through signal transmission (e.g., overappropriate circuits and buses) between or among two or more of thehardware components. In embodiments in which multiple hardwarecomponents are configured or instantiated at different times,communications between such hardware components may be achieved, forexample, through the storage and retrieval of information in memorystructures to which the multiple hardware components have access. Forexample, one hardware component may perform an operation and store theoutput of that operation in a memory device to which it iscommunicatively coupled. A further hardware component may then, at alater time, access the memory device to retrieve and process the storedoutput. Hardware components may also initiate communications with inputor output devices, and can operate on a resource (e.g., a collection ofinformation). The various operations of example methods described hereinmay be performed, at least partially, by one or more processors that aretemporarily configured (e.g., by software) or permanently configured toperform the relevant operations. Whether temporarily or permanentlyconfigured, such processors may constitute processor-implementedcomponents that operate to perform one or more operations or functionsdescribed herein. As used herein, “processor-implemented component”refers to a hardware component implemented using one or more processors.Similarly, the methods described herein may be at least partiallyprocessor-implemented, with a particular processor or processors beingan example of hardware. For example, at least some of the operations ofa method may be performed by one or more processors orprocessor-implemented components. Moreover, the one or more processorsmay also operate to support performance of the relevant operations in a“cloud computing” environment or as a “software as a service” (SaaS).For example, at least some of the operations may be performed by a groupof computers (as examples of machines including processors), with theseoperations being accessible via a network (e.g., the Internet) and viaone or more appropriate interfaces (e.g., an Application ProgramInterface (API)). The performance of certain of the operations may bedistributed among the processors, not only residing within a singlemachine, but deployed across a number of machines. In some exampleembodiments, the processors or processor-implemented components may belocated in a single geographic location (e.g., within a homeenvironment, an office environment, or a server farm). In other exampleembodiments, the processors or processor-implemented components may bedistributed across a number of geographic locations.

“PROCESSOR” in this context refers to any circuit or virtual circuit (aphysical circuit emulated by logic executing on an actual processor)that manipulates data values according to control signals (e.g.,“commands”, “op codes”, “machine code”, etc.) and which producescorresponding output signals that are applied to operate a machine. Aprocessor may, for example, be a Central Processing Unit (CPU), aReduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor, a ComplexInstruction Set Computing (CISC) processor, a Graphics Processing Unit(GPU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application SpecificIntegrated Circuit (ASIC), a Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC)or any combination thereof. A processor may further be a multi-coreprocessor having two or more independent processors (sometimes referredto as “cores”) that may execute instructions contemporaneously.

“TIMESTAMP” in this context refers to a sequence of characters orencoded information identifying when a certain event occurred, forexample giving date and time of day, sometimes accurate to a smallfraction of a second.

“TIME DELAYED NEURAL NETWORK (TDNN)” in this context, a TDNN is anartificial neural network architecture whose primary purpose is to workon sequential data. An example would be converting continuous audio intoa stream of classified phoneme labels for speech recognition.

“BI-DIRECTIONAL LONG-SHORT TERM MEMORY (BLSTM)” in this context refersto a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture that remembers valuesover arbitrary intervals. Stored values are not modified as learningproceeds. RNNs allow forward and backward connections between neurons.BLSTM are well-suited for the classification, processing, and predictionof time series, given time lags of unknown size and duration betweenevents.
